Over the years I’ve had great luck with used book sales held at churches and synagogues. So, last Saturday when I saw a “used book sale” sign at a nearby United Methodist Church I immediately stopped my car and ran over to see what kind of books were for sale. After first accidently stumbling into a Russian language religious service being held in the Church sanctuary, (and apologizing profusely using a mixture of simple English and broken Russian), I eventually located the sought after sale. I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed. As a matter of fact, I found several books I’ve been wanting to read for a long time. By now you’re probably wanting to know what I bought. Well, here are the books.

The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi- This book created a lot of buzz when it was published a few years ago. I usually don’t go for the “true crime” kind of stuff, but this book is supposed to be excellent. I can’t wait to read it.
